Psalms of Lament
October 23, 2022 • Bryan Fojtasek • Philippians 4:4–7, 1 Peter 5:7, Psalm 22
The largest category of Psalms in the book of Psalms is lament. God knows that we will have seasons of anxiety and adversity, and he's given us the gift of prayer so that we can move from a place of pain to a place of peace. Prayers of lament help us find that peace by reminding us what we know to be true about God: that he is good, that he is in control, and that he has a plan for our lives--even in the hard times.
Psalms of Praise
October 16, 2022 • Bryan Fojtasek • Psalm 111, Matthew 6:9–13, Ephesians 1:3
Psalm 111 calls us to live a live of praise and obedience in response to who God is and what he's done for his people. Many of the Psalms begin and end with praise, which gives us a wonderful example to follow in our own prayer lives.
